Pros
I had a lot of fun working here for a few years. There were some great and talented people here and a lot of creative freedom. A small team made for a dynamic environment. Dog friendly office was a big perk as well.
Cons
I left this company a couple years ago, and I have kept up with what has happened since. With enough time and distance, I feel I can be honest: This company has gone so downhill. When I started, the corporate team had 15-20 people. It slowly dropped down to single digits, and all of the existing staff were expected to just pick up the slack for no additional pay. There is such a toxic cycle of understaffing and disorganization leading to no one being able to perform their job well, which leads to more resignations and firings. There is no structure, and any middle management in place is just for show. Every little decision has to run through the CEO. There are lots of smart people that have worked for SnackCrate, but no one is empowered to make any real decisions. The micromanagement can be cleverly disguised at times, but is ever present. The CEO is also the founder, and has never been able to let go of the start up mentality of being involved in everything, despite the company being 10 years old. Speaking of 10 years old, that is the level of maturity to expect. The company culture has always been borderline, but has become an increasingly toxic environment. There are less and less people in a position to correct the CEO's horrifying remarks, as he has fired them all. I watched a manager get sent home after telling the CEO not to call his team "r*tards". Constant comments are thrown around, degrading minorities, employees, and more, often disguised as jokes. As for "perks", there are none. SnackCrate hires almost exclusively entry level staff, and then provides the absolute bare minimum. Any perks such as unlimited PTO or summer Fridays are used as leverage and threats. It would not be unusual to get a message like "No one is allowed to take PTO in June". Overall, I had a good experience here for a while, but slowly realized how much the CEO was taking advantage of young professionals, offering no real growth, and no resources to actually work with. Save yourself the headache and don't let yourself get sucked in for like 55k.
